WISKUS
No animal ever encountered in
Quendor and its surrounding lands was as
reluctant to greet the rising sun as the wiskus, which rouses even the
heaviest of sleepers with its low pitch, complaining groan, which most
find agonizing. The oddly-shaped wiskus is a common Westlands pasture
animal bred primarily for its meat, which some say is an acquired
taste. Wiskus-meat is the foundation of a large trade market in the
Mareilon and
Galepath regions, yet is shipped all over Quendor. The
stubborn beast was a primary means of transportation in the
Westlands
until the invention of the automobile in thelate 14th or early 15th centuries.
